My college friends get together periodically and this house was absolutely fabulous!!! Large, beautiful and spotless! A well-equipped kitchen. It’s close to all the wonderful things to do in the area -Brandywine art museum, Longwood Gardens and Winterthur. Kim is a great host and we will definitely be back-hopefully in the fall.
Our family absolutely loved this rental. We holed up here right after the New Year, and it was absolutely perfect for 6 of us! It was spacious enough for all of us to find our own space, while also being designed in a way that provided plenty of options for us to gather and be together. Everything was easy to operate (like the roaring fireplace, which we loved!), and the kitchen/all the rooms were well stocked with all the creature comforts. We'd gladly stay here again, and hope we have the opportunity to!
This was a great spot to stay at while we had to come into town for appointments. The house was clean, we felt safe and communication was good with the host. Made our trip a little easier.
This property is exceptional. I sincerely appreciate the welcome from the owner, and we were thrilled with the house. I would encourage everyone to stay in this wonderful house.
Great location for Winterthur/Wharton Esherick Museum/Longwood Gardens/Brandywine Art Museum -N.C.Wyeth home and studio/Nemours Estate. Well appointed house - comfortable, nothing lacking - easy access to restaurants in Greenville. We'd stay again in a heartbeat!!
We are a group of women who have shared 45+ years of friendship and stayed here at Kim’s fabulous Barn-home for our recent annual reunion. From every conceivable feature, this was a FABULOUS property! 100% delighted with our stay! We loved everything about it and give it a 10++ rating!
We really enjoyed our stay. I love to cook and have a very nice kitchen but this one was over the top fantastic! The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms fully stocked. The space in the living room was great, soaring ceilings and lots of windows.
Really great modernized home with great open space for large groups. In town for local graduation, had friends from graduation visit with plenty of space for everyone. Owner close and active, but never needed. Near golf courses and everything we needed.
The house was a perfect location for my family to gather to celebrate Christmas. The house was beautifully decorated for the holiday. Plenty of room to entertain. The kitchen is well equipped for meal preparation and entertaining needs. We had a 10 month old with us so we brought a large playpen which was very helpful to have. It would be difficult to have curious young children in the house with the beautiful holiday decorations. Kim is an excellent host. She promptly responds to any request. Thank you Kim! We hope this house is available to rent in the future.
This home exceeded expectations. Very clean and spacious for families. Kitchen is extremely well stocked & organized. Quiet neighborhood yet close to historic sites, restaurants, the city. Owner is quick to respond and very welcoming with suggestions to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Thank you, Kim! Will stay again whenever in the area. Highly recommend!
The pictures do not do this place justice! It is just overwhelmingly spacious and accommodating. Kimberly was fantastic. Beds are comfy. Kitchen is fully stocked. Pantry has basics. Quiet neighborhood. Kind neighbors who saw us playing with our grandson and asked about wedding. If you have an event at Greenville CC, this is the place for you, super close. Thanks, Kimberly!
Absolutely beautiful house.; equipped with more things than needed. Host was very easy to reach and very sweet . Very spacious, beautifully decorated house. We really enjoyed our stay. Convenient location. Will recommend this place to anyone.
Only one suggestion to put florescent tape on steps on entering the house so noone falls and gets injured.
We stayed in Kim’s home for my Daughters graduation from UDel and everything was just perfect. This was by far the cleanest, most comfortable and well appointed property I’ve ever rented. The property has a unique vibe, great history and the neighborhood, town and local restaurants/shops/activities are all great! Kimberly is a very warm and welcoming host…her communication, flexibility and attention to detail truly helped make our celebration memorable. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
5 girlfriends on a trip to Delaware to visit Winterthur and Longwood Gardens. This house was perfect. Clean, well appointed, and beautiful. Also incredibly close to everything we had planned. The neighborhood was safe and the owner was so nice and communicative. It really was a great experience all around!
This property and house is wonderfully equipped and lovely in a beautiful part of rural Delaware outside Wilmington. There are very few rentals of this quality. The owner was a pleasure to deal with, very responsive and helpful. The house was highly decorated for Christmas with multiple decorated trees, life sized nutcrackers, many large elves and Santa’s scattered around, and a animatronic, life sized Grinch (in a bedroom totally decorated around this theme). The house has an open floor plan with lots of space, and a gorgeous primary bedroom. The only note of caution would be that the holiday decorations might have been at risk with small children, luckily not the case in our situation but something to mention to the owner if you bring small children here. We would definitely book again at this lovely accommodation

About the host
Hosted by Kimberly Hermansen
My name is Kim and I grew up in California. I moved back to the east coast when I finished school and started my own business. I have been in business for 20+ years and I love what I do. My hobbies include golf, pickleball, listening to live music and traveling. I love the hospitality industry, my family and I owned a hotel on the Oceanfront in Virginia Beach. We sold that about 9 years ago and now I am a host for my beautiful home.
Why they chose this property
My home is located in the heart of Greenville, DE. I absolutely love this area, definitely the most beautiful area in all of Delaware!! The street is quiet, and you feel almost as if you are in the country however your close to everything! The city of Wilmington is just 10 minutes by car. There are several country clubs, golf courses, restaurants, shopping and Philadelphia is just 30 minutes from here. So, the location is absolutely perfect!
What makes this property unique
My home is extremely unique. This property was built in 1918 by Eugene Dupont. What is now a house was originally a barn for his Thoroughbred horses. The barn was converted to a home in 1981. I purchased the property in 2016 and completely remodeled the entire place. I kept the barn theme and used reclaimed wood, barn doors, barn lighting etc. The home is extremely spacious, and the open concept really makes it very cozy for large gatherings. I can tell you there is no other home that looks anything like this. The interior is absolutely stunning!
